We've had some pretty good kickers during my time of watching saints. Loughlin, Dave Lyon, Jamie Lyon, bobbie goulding, Sean long, scully and foster was all good goal kickers.



Sean long was great under pressure but for the best I'd go with Jamie foster.

I'm not sure those stats are that great though, they don't take into account where the kicks are taken from. You often find RU players hardly ever seem to miss but most of the kicks are from infront of the posts for pens. RL sees many kicks taken from the touchline for many of the tries. Not just saying it because he is a Wigan player but Richards is one of the best kickers around, the distance he can get helps him knock them over from anywhere..... but most of his kicks last year were from the touchline because of the rugby we played, Goulding and Richards scored 54 tries between them meaning that a lot of his kicks were right from the sideline which means the percentage is going to be lower than if he took them all from further inside. I'm sure there are teams which score tries closer to the posts.

The entertaining sides will score tries closer to the posts, those that score from further out and rely on the skills and speed of their players rather than the long cut out forward pass to a winger who flops over the line, or the kick to the corner for an otherwise anonymous player to score from.

You missed the

off your post.



The anonymous Tommy Voll, Bill Boston, Brian Bevan, Martin Offiah, Anthony Sullivan etc must have played in some boring sides then.

Some stats dont tell the full story imo,and goal kickings one of them.the big game pressure kicks are the ones i look out for.Goulding's for GB v Aus at Wembley in 94,Long v Bulls in the grand final 99,me v St.Marys O.B. in 98.Foster,so far,has got the temprement to handle almost any pressure kick,and hopefully will be up with the greats in the future.The pleasing thing for me is that the rest of his game is improving too.

Brett Hodgson is kicking at 81% so far this season.... to be fair though it would be higher... but we're scoring so many tries his old legs gets tired from all the kicking and he starts missing a few.

Was it Henry Paul who broke the consecutive goals record?

What was the record??

Yep.

Pffttt, I've made many more consecutive goals than that on Rugby League Live.
